MORNING GOODS: We selected “Brotherhood,” a recent collection of images from Toronto photographer G Elliott Simpson for this day’s dollop of dishy dudes because it evokes both a sense of foreboding and a certain erotic charge—exactly what we go for when choosing our Halloween costume. (Only three weeks to go!)

“I’m intrigued by how people transform themselves, and how others experience that transformation,” Simpson tells us. “People think themselves capable of all sorts of acts that are not possible. There is only so much a person can experience in the immediacy of one’s existing body, and it seems to me that any further awareness there is to gain must come through distortion… so that to break out of yourself, you must be willing to break yourself.”
